Do not look into the light output.
Set the output of the adjustable light sources to a level that is just high enough to ensure
optimal illumination of the operating area.
Make sure the light output is sufficiently far away from tissue and operating accessories.
3.6 Appropriate combination of endoscope and fiber optic
light cable
If the fiber bundle diameter of the fiber optic light cable is too large, the endoscope light
connection will heat up. This may cause damage to the endoscope.
If the fiber bundle diameter of the fiber optic light cable is too small, not enough light will enter
the endoscope. This may mean that the operating area is not sufficiently illuminated.
Use the endoscope with a fiber optic light cable that has an appropriate fiber bundle
diameter, see chapter Possible combinations.
